What does this picture
represent in SLAM?

"SLAM is one of the most outstanding fictional novels I have read. The narrative takes you with the flow and you truly enjoy the ride. Sam’s interactions with his mother, his girlfriend, his girlfriend’s parents and his friends are well described. It’s hard for a writer to keep the atmosphere real. Keeping it real adds a lot of charm to a story."
